And on two occasions, though the birth doesn't cause or prevent the death, the show portrayed them together for thematic reasons. Boone, the first survivor to die, died as Aaron was born. Soon after Sun gave birth to Ji Yeon Kwon, she took her to her husband's grave, revealing his supposed death for the first time. ("Do No Harm") ("Ji Yeon")

After death, Sun, Jin, Claire, Kate and Charlie all realized they had died when confronted with a pregnancy or birth. One of the show's final shots shows four characters we'd seen die cradling a baby. ("The End")

Many characters—Jack, Locke, Desmond, Hurley, Michael—have come close to suicide before something interrupted them. A gun not firing also saved Michael from Keamy. Claire refuses assisted suicide for her mother, who eventually recovered from her coma, and Jin twice refused to kill targets. ("Cabin Fever") ("...In Translation") ("The Glass Ballerina")
